    Do you know if the controls can be separated from the plate and surface mounted directly onto a bass body?

    Thinking about one of these for my daughter to use as a practice tool. Not too worried about the quality of the effects, but the rhythm patterns and metronome sound useful, as does the aux in. The previous models had a reputation for eating batteries, anyone here had any experience of these for bass? Cheers Andy

    [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1340057100' post='1698566'] Nice looking bass! I didn't know there were fretless versions. [/quote] The previous owner, Mykesbass had the board replaced by john shuker, as I recall. Made a cracking job of it too! I got some SIT silencer halfwounds through the letterbox today so I'll fit them when time allows and see if there is an improvement in the B string. Might be a U-Retro incoming if it turns out alright

    Recently aquired a fretless fiver, its a very well put together bass, not too heavy and balances well. The low B isn't great but I have a new set of strings in the post and if they improve matters, I might consider an electrical upgrade, as I agree with the previous posts regarding pickups and circuit. Here's a pic (courtesy of mykesbass - hope you dont mind ) [attachment=110799:CortBass001.jpg]

    I reckon you could put one of these [url="http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=art+headtap&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=8373815830046790484&sa=X&ei=9uLNT-XUA-2Y0QWgqfyIDA&ved=0CHYQ8wIwAA"]Art Headtap[/url] between your head and cab and monitor your own signal through earbuds Anyone tried this?

    Just bought a bass from Mike, clearly been well looked after, (the bass that is ), sold for a fair price with a nice cuppa and a good ole chat about bass stuff thrown in for good measure! Be happy to trade with him again in the future

    The Korg Pandora has a load of drum patterns, as well as many other useful features for a practice anywhere solution. I had the older PX3B but I'm sure the current models have the same if not more features.

    I am very tempted by this but I have to adhere to my one in one out policy. I could offer my electro up for trade if you were interested http://basschat.co.uk/topic/171481-5-string-status-electro-for-sale-or-trade-for-5-string-fretless/page__gopid__1669679#entry1669679

    I depped for a band where the singer said she couldn't do a certain song because she hadn't learned the ad-libs yet

    Pick up the pieces - Average White Band. Be a good one to do if you get one of the keys to do the brass

    [quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1337421379' post='1659603'] Heh, was hoping someone would mention him (Colin Hodgkinson), I couldn't think of his name. Virtuoso indeed! Would love to see him play. [/quote] [media]http://youtu.be/mavu1RvKJAM[/media] [media]http://youtu.be/NFKxnj5PMvU[/media]

    Sorry to hijack, but how do you fretless guys monitor your playing in a live situation? Often as not I struggle to hear myself playing fretted bass in the band where intonation isn't an issue (as long as you hit the correct fret )

    [quote name='charic' timestamp='1337088108' post='1655162'] It's not a planet waves cable by anychance is it? Some of these can have a little "spring" type area on the jack which I suspect is meant to make it grip better. Doesn't always work in reality though [/quote] If the previous owner used Planet Waves cables it may have opened out the contacts a touch, making non PW cables a sloppy fit. Wouldn't be the first time I've heard that.

    Go and see a few bands around your local pub circuit, and if you hear what sounds good to you, go and pick the brains of the bass player and check out his gear. It took me a long time to learn that what you hear on stage can be totally different to what the punters hear out front.

    [quote name='paul torch' timestamp='1335602527' post='1633540'] this is an awesome version. loved this video but can't play it anymore as I no longer own a VCR. [/quote] [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Frank-Zappa-Humor-Belong-Music/dp/B0000CAPTX"]http://www.amazon.co...c/dp/B0000CAPTX[/url]

    [quote name='Jesso' timestamp='1334779893' post='1621279'] I might just give it a shot, it's not huge money, and hopefully it's up to the job. I won't be asking too much of it! [/quote] I'd be interested in your findings, it could be that I had a duff one [quote name='charic' timestamp='1334750659' post='1620601'] I all fairness ACG's do kick out a fair amount of bass [/quote] Good point but it was the same with my mim passive jazz. All sound fine through headphones though.

    Hi Peaty Yes it is! [quote name='Peaty' timestamp='1334753147' post='1620666'] Ohh that looks great, Is it still available. [/quote]
  22. andyonbass
    I have a Vox amplug and its fine with headphones, but when I tried it with the matching cab, it would fart out even at accoustic guitar volumes, and yes it was the bass version!

    [quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1334577515' post='1617826'] If you want a good fingerboard replacement or just defretted The guys at Sei basses/ Bass Gallery do a sterling job. [/quote] [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1334577232' post='1617818'] Status Electros are just amazing as fretless basses. I have an Electro 2. When it has halfwounds on it it sings like nothing else. Flats on it give a lovely thumpy sound. Doubt Rob Green would be able to make a new wooden neck as he doesn't make wooden necks any longer. That would have to be done by a luthier. Again much money. I thibnk a defret would bring this alive. [/quote] Thanks guys, a trip to the gallery is looking increasingly likely
